9955 Conversando Entre
Cubanos replied direct and sent me a WRMI QSL that was stamped with the
logo of ExClub, La Asociacion de Ex Prisioneros Y Combatientes Politicos
Cubanos. Also received a letter from Justo Gabriel Quintana, their Press
Director, apologizing for the delay in responding and explaining that
Rolando Borges, their President, had died so that they were reorganizing.
Justo also enclosed an issue of their newsletter, Fragua. This was for a
November 2001 reception in which a hurricane knocked Cuban jammers off the
air and allowed clear reception of the program. Reportwas sent to 6858
West Flagler St, Miami, FL 33144.

9955
Enterate (GAD) program for Cuba via WRMI. Tried them to verify direct, but
Jeff White said that they would probably not do so. Jeff was kind enough
to verify my taped report with a Cruise Line International Association
card.

Re
Radio Marti not (?) answering reports : Received a letter in English
from the Office of Cuba Broadcasting last week, dated March 13, 2003.
It's gives no data as to when and where, but I had sent them a report
by ordinary mail in 2001 for 6030 kHz, and I wrote that letter in
Spanish I remember. A lot of letters and reports were lost here in a
pc crash, so I can't recall the details. Anyway, the verification text
is quite OK, and it is signed by Michael F. Pallone, Director,
Engineering & Technical Operations. It gives the address Office of
Cuba Broadcasting, 4201 N.W. 7th Avenue, Miami, FL 33166 and bears the
logo of Radio Marti TV and the text Broadcasting Board of Govenors
printed at the bottom. A card was enclosed, an old portait of José
Martí. I had since long given up hope, yes almost forgotten the
report, but now remember that I made some very nasty remarks about the
jammers of Radio Marti.

years), and that I'd be sent one "as soon as they are

"Florida postage stamp" card from Jeff White of Radio Miami

Also today I received a no-data Spanish
& English letter direct from Radio Republica. It includes "Thanks
for reporting your reception . . .We hope you can continue listening"
so I guess it`s a verification. This was 1 month after I sent a report of
reception on 7,110 to P.O. Box 110235, Hialeah, Florida 33011. Also
included was a transmission schedule, which includes 6135, 6010, &
7110, and also 9555 in the English version and 9955 in the Spanish
[WRMI?]. No mention of 7160. Also enclosed was a photocopy of a newspaper
clipping which mentions WRMI`s airing of Radio Praga in Spanish and gives
a details of Radio Republica`s 10 hours of broadcasting per day.
